rleduc Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 (edited) Hi, I am about to start page layout on my monograph and I had a few questions I was hoping someone here might be able to answer: 1) All artwork most be black and white according to Dustin, does anyone know an easy way to convert PNG files to grey scale? 2) I have included references to the core rules wherever possible. Any suggestions on a shorthand for these, currently I am using something like “BRP core rules page XYZ” – but there is probably a better way. Any ideas? 3) I need to make a nice character sheet to be included in the monograph, and I know there was a long thread on that recently, does anyone remember what the punch line was for best tool to do this? 4) Is it my imagination, or did I read somewhere in the core rules, a penalty for characters not getting enough sleep. I would have sworn I saw something about that, but when I went to find it – nothing. Does anyone know of one? Thanks, Edited June 16, 2009 by rleduc Because I am boneheaded and forgot the last question... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogspawner Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 1) IrfanView seems up to it. 2) "BRP p.XYZ" would do, wouldn't it? 3) Dunno - soz! 4) Or was it something someone else said around here recently? Quote Britain has been infiltrated by soviet agents to the highest levels. They control the BBC, the main political party leaderships, NHS & local council executives, much of the police, most newspapers and the utility companies. Of course the EU is theirs, through-and-through. And they are among us - a pervasive evil, like Stasi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rleduc Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 Thanks for #1, #2 was what I had in the back of my mind, but wasn't sure if it would work for the general reader... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDLeary Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Hi, I am about to start page layout on my monograph and I had a few questions I was hoping someone here might be able to answer: What platform are you on, and what is the format that this is going to be submitted in? 1) All artwork most be black and white according to Dustin, does anyone know an easy way to convert PNG files to grey scale? I haven't tried it in some time, but GIMP might fit the bill. 3) I need to make a nice character sheet to be included in the monograph, and I know there was a long thread on that recently, does anyone remember what the punch line was for best tool to do this? Best tool? InDesign. But if you don't have it, give Scribus a try. In fact, you could use it for the whole layout if it will save to the submission format. Also, I remember a dedicated character sheet tool mentioned... NBOS Character Sheet Designer. This is Windows only though. SDLeary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rleduc Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 Thanks. I am working in Scribus on the advice I read earlier from this forum (so I’ve got that going for me). And for anyone else who might care, I used IrfanView last night to convert the images to black and white and it work, so I wont get a chance to try GIMP.
